Cheerleading can be filled with unexpected scenarios! Whether it's a sudden thunderstorm at a football game, or the need for more lipstick, packing your backpack for all scenarios is a MUST!

Ever wonder what essential items you can find in a cheerleader's backpack? Check out some of the staple items that we found in a cheerleader's backpack at UCA camp!

Pom Poms

Where else would you keep your #1 sideline accessory? Always check that your poms are in your backpack before you leave the house for practice or games!

Squad Notebook

Keep up with everything that you learned at camp this season by using your squad notebook! Store your notebook in your backpack to have it at hand whenever your team needs to refer back to it!

Emergency Kit

Preparation is key! This emergency kit consists of everything you could ever need! Stick a box like this filled with deodorant, sunscreen, makeup wipes, and more in your backpack before your first football game!

Portable Phone Charger

You can't take a game day selfie with your bestie if your phone is dead! Stick a portable charger in your backpack so you can charge up while your phone is in your bag during the game. By halftime, you'll be good to go!

Water!

Do yourself a favor and use that side pocket to store your water bottle at all times! Staying hydrated on the sidelines is very important!
